Q. Solve for x x . Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newlinex22x35=0 lesser x= greater x= \begin{array}{l} x^{2}-2 x-35=0 \\ \text { lesser } x=\square \\ \text { greater } x=\square \end{array}
  1. Identify the quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation to solve.\newlineThe given quadratic equation is x22x35=0x^2 - 2x - 35 = 0. We need to find two numbers that multiply to 35-35 and add up to 2-2.
  2. Factor the quadratic equation: Factor the quadratic equation.\newlineThe two numbers that multiply to 35-35 and add up to 2-2 are 7-7 and 55. Therefore, we can factor the equation as follows:\newline(x7)(x+5)=0(x - 7)(x + 5) = 0
  3. Solve for x by setting each factor equal to zero: Solve for x by setting each factor equal to zero.\newlineFirst, set the first factor equal to zero:\newlinex7=0x - 7 = 0\newlineAdd 77 to both sides to solve for x:\newlinex=7x = 7
  4. Solve for x using the second factor: Solve for x using the second factor.\newlineNow, set the second factor equal to zero:\newlinex+5=0x + 5 = 0\newlineSubtract 55 from both sides to solve for x:\newlinex=5x = -5
  5. Write the solutions in ascending order: Write the solutions in ascending order.\newlineThe solutions are x=5x = -5 and x=7x = 7. In ascending order, the lesser value is 5-5 and the greater value is 77.
